Prelude to Action
Dance & Music – 10 min

Prelude to Action is a rousing call for unity, action, and belief in our ability to work together toward a better future. It was choreographed by Martha Graham in 1936 when the shadow of war was looming over Europe. This dance was her response. The music is by Wallingford Riegger.
